√ All things consideredThe motivation of Maven Browser was the inconvenience with multi-touch dedicated interface of existing web browsers. You can do everything without moving up and down the finger busily. Everything is reachable from your two thumbs.

√ Save passwordsMaven Browser is the first web browser supports password saving. Your password will be saved safely in iOS KeyChain. You will be asked to save password when you log in a page with password. You can definitely disable this feature if you don't want.

√ Bookmark Jog-DialNow you can easily switch between favorite websites. Just touch and release the jog-dial wherever you want to go.

√ Track-padHow do you scroll the lengthy web page? Probably you would swipes the screen from bottom to top which is painful. Now you can use trackball to scroll the page with your thumb. Go and touch the red ball. It will make your life easier.

>>> Double tap and drag will move the track-pad anywhere you want.

√ Download ManagerYou can download files from link and images. Download manage also supports preview for downloaded files. You can also transfer downloaded files to your Mac/PC with iTunes. It's that easy!

√ Unlimited tabsMaven automatically opens a new tab when a link is supposed to be opened in a new tab. User can also open a link in a new tab by hold down a link and select open in a tab menu.

√ Gesture You can swipe with two fingers to switch between tabs. Gestures are fully customizable. On iPhone, Maven supports two/three fingers Gesture. On iPad, Maven support upto 4 fingers for Gesture.

√ Screen Brightness Jog-DialYou can make the screen darker than iOS allows.

√ Private browsingMaven support private web browsing. It will not save any history and page contents while in private mode.

It needs more updates, but at some points its powerful functions make web browsing more exiting compared to other browsers. Especially when I scroll the articles, or adblock, and so on. Its performance is very light and fast but sometimes happen freezing, if memory warns, as soon as it shut down and data go away. I believe this dev continues updates, and it is worth more than $2.

It is kind of clunky and old-fashioned but almost every other browser I have tried had problems, especially crashing. This app is very stable.

Clumsy, old fashion interface that takes up more room than the browser itself

I already owned this and the dev slightly changed the app name (still v2.0) and even his dev name, so now I'd have to buy this again - no thanks!

It's free again, now you can buy the app without pay it.

Yeah I owned this too I was wondering what the difference was. Thought one was Pro maybe? It's an impressive browser though. I like the Gestures.

Yeah, I got the app... again, when it was free, but making a new app that wasn't (at the time) even an update of the old one and using a different dev name always seems suspicious and sleazy. What if I hadn't seen it when it was free (yes, this particular app goes free all the time)? Forcing people to buy/download a new app that's, at best, nothing more than an update that they may not even know exists is a great way to get a low rating. Good app or not, since the dev wants to play these games, a low rating is what he got.

I've had this happen with other apps and didn't notice until months later that I had to buy the "new" version of the same app. Some were on sale for free when they made the change, but I didn't know it when they were and just deleted the app. If I ever saw the app for free again, I got it so I could give the well deserved low rating.

There's no excuse for doing something like this without somehow giving your users fair warning, well in advance of the change and only if there's a legitimate reason for the change, none of which I saw here.
